HID's sound good but the real kits for conversions are 100's of dollars the cheap ones aren't real and fake you into thinking theres more light on the road than there really is by changing the light color. They can be pretty dangerous. But for a few bucks you can get the Sylverstars and like I'm try...

Sylvania does have the 880ST but the 885s are still double the lumens output over the 880ST. If it won't overload the wiring it seems a great option to me. I can't imagine I'm the first one to try running these lamps in our trucks. In theory if it did overload it would blow the fuse due to too much ...

Has anyone else been running 50 watt bulbs in their foglights?

green02crew

I just went to the local autozone to pick up some fog light bulbs for my stock lights. The 885s were cheaper and were 50w instead of the lower 27w 880 bulbs we had stock. They are slightly different shape but fit in the wire harness snuggly just don't clip in. Would these bulbs be bad for my wiring?...

green02crew

haha at those prices it would cost the same to let everything drag and replace it!

I've talked to pretty much every dealer I can find and to no avail. They also checked the database and couldn't find any: "I don't see a dealer in the country having it". The only help was to look at a vintage parts store online who didn't have the shields in stock!

My old car did this as it had a hole in the gas tank. Just water in the fuel so I added dry gas. Easy fix to an easy problem hopefully yours is easy and the dealer is just not too smart.

So skid plates aren't available off of the gmparts direct website anymore... discontinued! "12496888, I am sorry the part number you requested has been discontinued and is no longer available from GM. You will have to find an aftermarket source for this part. You may be able to locate one through VP...

Yeah I did read that they delayed it a year as it was supposed to be introduced mid-year in 08 so they pushed it to 09... I guess I'll have to wait till 09 to start shopping for a new truck or the camaro seems good too!

I was wondering how much I should be able to tow. I don't have a larger radiator or a transmission cooler installed or even a low temp thermostat. The trailer would not have trailer brakes as I don't have the hookup for it on my truck. Its fairly cool up north here. Any ideas to the amount where I c...

I just replaced my switch, the old one had failed and there was some fluid in the lines that I could see. Everything is working just fine as it should with no malfunctions including no air being let by when the air is set to off. Is it possible that something could go wrong later due to fluid being ...

green02crew

Well I'll look but sorta doubt it... Good to know I can always get some if these break though. I'll try to make it a personal goal.

green02crew

Mine is stock and also rubber. Mine is an 02. No idea how I got a rubber one either as I also had Dex-Cool when I got it.

green02crew

I wish I hadn't replaced mine on my own knowing that they were free from the dealer... Oh well!

Lots of people take the frames out from under their trucks and paint it. I live way up north in the salt and my frame is all rust and has been for years. Never a problem with it! Personally I wouldn't worry anything about that but thats just me. Down south they might worry about rust more. Up here i...

Yeah my bad I had forgotten about PB Blaster... We call it skunk urine at work. Sorry random fact.

green02crew

Just in case anyone wonders I had the same problem installing my shackles (I bought the exact same ones). The stock bolt and metal sleeve in the bushing are a very tight fit (but good since you don't want slack) and rust together in any salty conditions and the bolt comes out hard! My metal sleeve c...

When the boot falls down because of the TB crank like the drivers side I'll prob check it. If it is failing I can't stop it unless I replace it. I'm sure I'll check it soon enough. Thanks for the possible idea though I'll def keep my eye on it!

I think i just got lucky putting the nut on I really don't know how I did it! I JB'd the crack on the distributor screw housing and put some on the threads so the nut wouldn't back off. I was worried about that too! I couldn't manage to fit another nut on there (my fingers aren't THAT small). Cheap/...

green02crew

My truck is passed warranty and has not had this part replaced. The part is at a local Autozone for 15$. Is that part just as good or should I go directly to the dealer?

green02crew

Haha yeah I work for the Mount Washington Cog Railway... A lot of the guys have automotive knowledge but just personal experience not school for it or anything. But they're all really mechanically inclined.

green02crew

The guys at my work swear by Marvel Mystery Oil. I ran it in my last car in the oil and gas and the car was stilling going at 250k miles. Anyone else think this is good stuff? Any negative effects?

green02crew

Ok so in case anyone was wondering or happens to mess up as I did installing the distributor cap and cracks the screw hole for the distributor. Just head to home depot and get a small bolt #6-32, 2 washers, a nut. Thread the bolt through with a washer on top, put a washer then a nut on the bottom an...

By the way I love this site and its great to know that I'm not the only one with some of these problems!

green02crew

Yeah so it looks like the lean is just going to be there. when I get it in goes away so thats a good sign! Both my Tbars are cranked all the way but the front and rear passenger side is even just a little lower.... oh well! As for the noise I'll just write it off as tires hitting plastic somewhere s...

green02crew

Well the ear isn't broken completely off its just split open so the screw turns inside it when it gets too tight so I'm just thinking a small bolt could go through both holes then get tightened down w/ a nut on the bottom.

green02crew

Ok two questions: 1. Does anyone's truck lean to the passenger or drivers side? Mine leans to the passengers side about 1/2 an inch. The front and rear are even heights just evenly leaning... I cranked the Tbars and did shackles could this have caused the problem? I'd like to think its compensation ...

green02crew

Do you think it might be possible to just get a longer screw that comes out the bottom and put a nut on it? That would be a very cheap and easy fix if its possible.

green02crew

Yeah I really don't want to have to dump the money into a new one when this one performs just fine... Thanks for the support though I'll take it apart this weekend and give it a try. It's the hole by the firewall too so its really hard to get at so I'll definitely have to take it out. Hope its not t...

So I put new cap, rotor, plugs, wires, pcv valve, fuel filter and flushed all the fluids on it the other day since none of those things had been done on it for 50k miles. ( I didn't own the truck just got it over the summer). Long story short I should have read the threads on here about distributor ...

I really like the rims and exhaust! I'm jealous now...

I have the Firestone Destination A/T and LOVE them. On the tire rack review they are number 2 only rated lower than the Pirellis

I did the DRL mod and it was really easy. I just bent over a pin and done! Still debating whether to do AHL and Quad beams yet... The link for the quadbeams doesn't work is there another thread that describes the process?

green02crew

Awesome fix!

Sorry, I know this is a really old post but I had wheel hop really bad every time I took off from a dead stop I would get it. I couldn't find a real solution on this site so I experimented and wanted to share. An easy way that I found to get rid of wheel hop was helper springs from VIP auto 30$ a pa...
